At a time when Cornwall is at its busiest, there’s something rather escapist about stepping away from the hustle and bustle into the tender tranquillity of a gallery. An unspoken air of hushed voices and quiet reflection offers a moment of respite from the sounds of summer outside, as well as the chance to see this beautiful part of the country through the eyes of its talented creatives. Be it through the medium of ceramics, painting, sculpture, textile or jewellery, each uniquely captures an essence of Cornwall. In this issue of Art, you’ll find a wide selection of this Cornish essence throughout the galleries, independent artists and makers showcasing their work, alongside a range of exhibitions from some of the county’s leading historic and public galleries. Plan art trails using our map and discover hidden gems in the farthest reaches of Cornwall, as well as the latest exhibitions and new releases arriving this season.
